Inject your spiritual imprint, and you can use this card to enjoy discounts in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In addition, this jade plaque involves spiritual sense sound transmission. When it is inconvenient to go out, you can transmit sound for thousands of miles and let our people deliver elixirs to your door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen said \"hmm\" and put the jade plaque into his bosom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking at the other party's face, there was still a trace of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person didn't mind and introduced himself immediately: \"I am He Yun, from the Yuxuan He family of Qingdan Valley. Everyone is kind, and I got the Daoist name Xuan Yunzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in the Jianghu, only top experts have nicknames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the immortal cultivation world, only those who have achieved excellence in a certain aspect, or are powerful, are qualified to be given a Daoist name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen's Daoist name, Danchenzi, was actually not true to its name at the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Mi Shuhua forcibly gave it to him in order to open up the Jade Marrow Elixir market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist names like Peach Blossom Shangren and Food Fragrance Master are truly well-deserved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the person in front of him actually has a Daoist name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be seen that he is... well, alchemy. The rich elixir energy lingering all over his body shows that he has quite a lot of attainments in the Dao of Alchemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen put away his suspicious face and nodded to the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yunzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly and looked at Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist is so young, yet you purchase so many elixirs in bulk. I don't know if I should say something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twitching the corners of his mouth, Luo Chen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't know whether you should say it or not, then what are you saying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, on the surface, he still made a look of listening attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elixirs are good, but one should not rely on them too much. Otherwise, when forming the core, there will definitely be residual poison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luo thanks Fellow Daoist for your kindness. It's just strange, you sell elixirs at Qingdan Valley, and you say this, which really surprised me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yunzi was stunned, then laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know why, but seeing Fellow Daoist Luo, I feel particularly close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation, the maid had already retrieved enough Dragon-Ascension Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to the previous ones, they were all five percent off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of eighteen thousand two hundred and eighty-seven spirit stones, Xuan Yunzi took the initiative to wipe out the fraction of eighty-seven spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the talk about no discount for the first purchase, it was never mentioned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the elixirs, Luo Chen did not leave directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he asked curiously: \"I wonder if your shop has mid-grade or high-grade Dragon-Ascension Elixir for sale?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yunzi looked at Luo Chen, thinking in his heart that the other party had indeed listened to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he has started to think about changing to higher-grade Dragon-Ascension Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Qingdan Valley never sells high-grade elixirs directly. This is the rule from above, and I am powerless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen sighed, \"That's really a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully looking at Luo Chen, his attire, temperament, and speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yunzi thought for a while and took out an invitation with nine cloud patterns from his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist looks like a person with great wealth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next large auction in Tianlan Immortal City is our Qingdan Valley and Ice Fortress's turn to host together. With this invitation, Fellow Daoist can participate without verifying assets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it, he saw that many rare treasures were already recorded on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even magic treasures, there were several pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even more characteristic products of Qingdan Valley and Ice Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-grade Dragon-Ascension Elixir was clearly visible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cherishing it, Luo Chen said: \"At that time, I will definitely attend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When leaving the shop, Luo Chen couldn't help but look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yunzi stood in front of the counter, as if feeling something, turned his head, and smiled at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Luo Chen walked to the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, how can a person have both vitality and death intent, and be so prominent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering, Luo Chen walked for a while, turned around, and dived into another shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food Fragrance Pavilion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A box of Fierce God Incense, ten bottles of Hundred Flower Dew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen entered the shop, attracting many gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irrelevant to his Foundation Establishment True Cultivator realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he is a male cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And inside the Food Fragrance Pavilion, most are female cultivators, and the number of male cultivators is very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the customer is the guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a maid came up to serve him specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fierce God Incense, one of the three incenses, second-grade spiritual incense, the price is much cheaper than elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a box of twelve sticks also costs nearly three hundred spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When paying these spirit stones, Luo Chen felt quite painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was not sure if Fierce God Incense was still useful to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calming incense commonly used in the Qi Refining period currently has a negligible effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must choose another spiritual incense, otherwise the proficiency of \"Yi Wood Medicine King Classic\" would be brushed too slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hundred Flower Dew, he bought without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason is that it is cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the four flavors, and also the main product of Baihua Palace, this thing has a particularly large output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It goes for quantity, not price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing is one of the three main materials for refining Jade Dew Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three main materials for Jade Dew Elixir: Blue Smoke Jade, Lingting Fragrant Grass, Hundred Flower Dew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two, he asked the Luo Tian Society to purchase for him in large quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he chose to buy the remaining main material himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While convenient, it can also ensure that the elixir formula and medicinal materials are preserved as much as possible and will not leak out severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although even if it leaked out, ordinary people wouldn't be able to refine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But keeping a little is a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the lifeblood of an alchemist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't let people see it if you can, and even if it is seen, try not to let people figure out the specific dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before returning \"home,\" Luo Chen first went to Duan Feng's place for a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was making final preparations before Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he would break through to Foundation Establishment in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time could be three or five days, or it could be one or two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Luo Chen's Foundation Establishment time, which was often a year, it was extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was related to the fact that Luo Chen had prepared five portions of Foundation Establishment medicinal herbs back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the second-grade spiritual land environment of Xiaohuan Mountain was not natural, but man-made, and he spent a lot of time refilling the spirit stones needed for the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, Duan Feng did not have these problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to increase Duan Feng's Foundation Establishment success rate as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen didn't mind the trouble and personally explained the tips and keys of Foundation Establishment to him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Duan Feng's somewhat unnatural expression, Luo Chen personally injected a wisp of pure spiritual power into his body to simulate the process of spiritual energy surging and washing the meridians of the whole body when the dantian turns into a sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, he naturally restrained himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Feng experienced it with full concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he said \"thank you\" to Luo Chen with an extremely complicated mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to thank me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually you call me President, but in private, you and I are still buddies who came out of the same courtyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also hope you succeed in Foundation Establishment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The road is long, if I were the only one walking alone, it would be too lonely. Not just you, I also hope Qin Liangchen, Caiyi, and the others can succeed in Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen waved his hand and said a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sincere and true, absolutely no pretense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Feng was truly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed the control method for the cave dwelling to Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A month later, if I haven't come out, it proves that I failed Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either seriously injured, or dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By then, come collect my body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the stone gate fall, the concealment formation activated, and clouds and mist grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen whispered: \"It should succeed, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked himself that he was not some lone star, and even had a little bit of good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around him were mostly healthy and safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, his enemies often had accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this case, he didn't want to do that \"collecting the body\" act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still want to hear that long roar of breaking through the barrier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flicking his sleeves and turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating clouds go straight up, inside the cave dwelling, there has been a beautiful ghost waiting for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you are back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>End of chapter\u003C\u002Fp>",2073,"2026-06-12T10:36:04.828Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d70f42dd76cad7cf800e3de64f88629d26a8a70faac22c8a7f45f244b4c26fca","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-233","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-231",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
